TechFlow News, May 26: CoinShares’ latest weekly report shows that digital asset investment products recorded $1.47 billion in net outflows last week—the second consecutive week of negative flows and the third-largest single-week outflow of 2026—bringing the cumulative outflows over the past two weeks to $2.54 billion.
By asset, Bitcoin saw outflows of $1.315 billion—the largest single-week outflow of 2026—reducing year-to-date net inflows from $3.9 billion to $2.6 billion. Ethereum experienced outflows of $223 million, roughly flat week-on-week. Several altcoins posted modest inflows: XRP attracted $31.8 million, Near $9 million, and Solana $7.7 million.
By region, the U.S. drove the outflow trend, accounting for $1.425 billion in single-week outflows. Switzerland, Canada, and Hong Kong recorded outflows of $16.2 million, $12.5 million, and $12.2 million, respectively. Risk-aversion sentiment has expanded globally—from localized concerns last week to most regions worldwide. CoinShares notes that these outflows are closely linked to escalating Iran-related geopolitical risks; although the CLARITY Act’s legislative process continues to advance, market risk-aversion sentiment is deepening.
